A new 2D coordination polymer, [Cd(tpim)(1,5-nds)]n (1), was constructed from 1,5-naphthalenedi- sulfonate (1,5-nds). 2.4,5-tri(4-pyridyl)-imidazole (tpim) and Cd(CH3COO)2.2H2O, which can be subsequently used to promote the epoxide ring-opening reaction of epoxides and amines with remarkable catalytic activity. In addition, the thermal and luminescent properties of I in the solid state were also investigated.
